The owner of Shoppingtown Mall won't have to pay back taxes at least until their trial is finished.
A state Supreme Court judge issued a temporary order this month saying the mall owners would have to pay back the taxes owed by April 22. But, that decision was appealed and a stay was issued putting the matter on hold.
The trial begins Monday, involving a complaint by an investor that unpaid taxes have created a barrage of bad press that affected the value of business tied to the mall.
Shoppingtown's owners owe nearly $10 million in taxes dating back to 2015 but they have challenged the mall's assessment.
